The competition to produce the most low-priced meat, egg and dairy products has led animal businesses to treat animals as objects and commodities. Worldwide, small family farms have transformed into “factory Farms”- large warehouses where animals are confined in crowded cages or restrictive pens. If the anti-cruelty laws that protect pets were applied to farmed animals, many of the U.S. farming practices would be illegal in all 50 states. I believe this needs to come to an end and more awareness needs to be advocated. My project focused on animal rights and abuse. I was an activist against animal abuse and consumption and signed numerous petitions supporting Veganism. Animal cruelty can be either deliberate abuse or the failure to take care of an animal. Either way, and whether the animal is a pet, a farmed animal, or wildlife, the victim can undergo extreme suffering. I have always had an extreme desire to help animals and this project provided the perfect opportunity to do so.

My project fits into two Areas of Interaction: the Environments and Health and Social Education. This project has allowed me to develop more awareness about the environment and my responsibility to help within it. I have also expanded my knowledge of physical, social, and emotional health and am now able to be the healthiest I can be whilst guiding others along the way.

For years, animals have been a form of entertainment whether it has been in movies, shows, circuses, or for a romantic night out. Most families love this type of entertainment because it is kid friendly and believe it is cool to watch animals do all kinds of tricks. But do they ever wonder what really goes on behind closed doors? Entertainment animals have had to endure a lot of pain, depression, and torture in the process; aside from that not all of them have that “happy ending.”

Research has previous been conducted on animal abuse that has maintained the idea that animal cruelty has the tendency to advance with the concerns of the levels of violence that harms others (Hensley & Tallichet, 2007). Animal cruelty is one of many influences, children that continue to have behavior problems can lead to several different problems later down the road. Characteristic of animal abuse can be one of many forms of antisocial behavior that introduced in childhood as a signal of involvement…

article called Down and Feathers. These feathers are mostly used for feather earrings and feather hair extensions, but luckily for feathers it has been pretty easy to purchase false feathers that does not involve animal cruelty.
When it comes to cosmetics and testing on animals most of the animal testing is wasted work which doesn’t lead to anything or is still being done to prove what may be obvious. The fashion industry advocates to us that you can transform yourselves by applying on makeup, and what…

Around 2.7 million of our companion animals are euthanized each year. It happens because many people are giving up their pets and not a lot of people are adopting pets. Due to the economic crisis few years ago, more owners threw away their pets to the streets, increasing the number of stray animals. Shelters have no more space for incoming animals, so they forced to euthanize some animals. The animals who are not euthanized are taken care by the shelters, but comes the next step, adoption. Since…

are a number of organizations that are put together to stop animal cruelty, to protect not only domestic animals but also protect the ones that live in the wild from poachers or hunters. But how many organizations are there for stopping human cruelty? This may be a bizarre concept to try and understand because it doesn’t seem possible for there to be cruelty to human beings. Yes, there is the commonly heard term of abuse, but cruelty and abuse are two different things. Abuse is defined as being…

The first section of this paper will outline scholarly literature on the effects of animal agriculture on…

Animal Cruelty
The weather outside is harsh. The wind is blowing and the temperature is below freezing. Imagine being locked in a cage and left unprotected from this weather with small portions of food and water that has turned to ice. Now imagine being yanked from this cage and bashed on the floor, stunned, and now skinned alive. Does this sound cruel? Does this sound like something that no creature should ever have to endure? This is something that is experienced by many different types…

This will also have a substantial effect on the environment and the Earth is already overpopulated as it is, this is clearly seen in different parts of the world. Cities go on for miles without any greenery and are overcrowded, roads look disgusting as there are so many cars on the road polluting the atmosphere and if the population increases even more, there will be more cars on roads which will cause even more air pollution in the atmosphere which means that plants and other species will die as…

non-human animals. In this essay, I will draw upon the work of Kant, Machan, Norcross, and Singer to argue that animals do, in fact, deserve moral consideration. I will then explain why these obligations should lead consumers (whose circumstances deem the consumption of animal products unnecessary) to abstain from the purchase of products that cause harm to animals. These products include, but are not limited to, most meats, dairy products, cosmetics, and leather goods.
Due to consumerism, animal cruelty…
